The annual Fox Hollow Golf Club Fall eight-inch cup tournament will be held Oct. 19 at the public course in Quakertown.

For those unfamiliar with the format, the eight-inch cup is just what it sounds like. Eight-inch cups are cut into the undulating greens and foursomes play a scramble and have a ton of fun. I played in this event last year and my group is still talking about. It's a blast.

The cost is $80 per player and includes greens fees, cart, a barbecue lunch, refreshments, cash prizes and gift certificates.

Two regulars at the public Heritage Creek Golf Club in Warwick are competing in the World Amateur Handicap Championship in Myrtle Beach that began Monday.

Hal Sutton of Warwick and Rob Gogol of Chalfont won spots in the event and will be two of the over 3,400 players entered in the field.

The World Am, now in its 30th year, is held over five days and is played on 64 Myrtle Beach-area courses. Players from all 50 states and more than 20 countries are expected to take part in the tournament.

The first four days are played in flights and the winners of each flight advance to the fifth day to determine the overall champion.

Sutton gained entry into the World Am by winning a "closest to the pin" contest held earlier this year at Heritage Creek while Gogol was selected in an email contest run by the course.

Hole-in-one

Congratulations go out to Doylestown's Vince Mazzei for his recent hole-in-one on the Red Nine at Limekiln Golf Course.

Mazzei, using a 7 iron, aced the 158-yard, par 3 second hole despite a difficult pin position that was tucked behind a front bunker. The hole-in-one, which came July 20, was Mazzei's first.

Almost as important was the fact the shot was witnessed by playing partners Greg Hayes of Buckingham, Jay Ewing of Doylestown and Ed Stark of Jamison.

Strong showing at AJGA event

Yardley Country Club member Sarah Kokotajilo had a solid showing at the Lessing's American Junior Golf Association event at Fiddler's Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, N.J., last week.

Kokotajilo, from Ewing, N.J., had a two-round total of 10-over par 154 to end up in a three-way tie for fourth. Alice Chen from Princeton won the event at 2-over par.

Kokatajilo, who is entering her senior year of high school, has verbally committed to play golf at Monmouth College. She had an opening round of 80, but turned it on in the second round, shooting 74, to move up the final leader board.
